What was Pam Bondi's Bar exam score on her first attempt?
Executive summary
Public reporting and available records confirm that Pam Bondi graduated from Stetson University College of Law in 1990 and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1991, but none of the provided sources disclose her numeric Florida Bar exam score on her first attempt [1] [2] [3]. Online chatter and social posts question how many attempts she took, yet those posts do not provide documentary evidence of any score or number of attempts [4].
1. What the official record shows — graduation and admission, not a score
Pam Bondi’s official and widely cited biographical details show a J.D. from Stetson University College of Law in 1990 and formal admission to the Florida Bar on June 24, 1991, which establishes that she passed the bar and became licensed that year, but none of those profiles or institutional notices publish a numeric first-attempt exam score [1] [2] [5].
2. Press coverage and institutional pieces repeat the pass but omit the number
Contemporary news accounts and institutional releases about Bondi’s career focus on credentials, election history, and professional roles — for example, announcements of her graduation, Stetson’s bar-passage rates, and her later nominations — and they confirm passage of the Florida bar without revealing a specific score for her exam performance [6] [3] [7].
3. Social media and partisan commentary raise questions but do not supply evidence
A wave of social-media posts and opinion-driven pieces have speculated about Bondi’s competence or how many attempts she needed to pass the bar, but the snippets gathered here show curiosity and accusatory rhetoric rather than documentary proof of numerical scores or exam attempts; a Threads post asking “how many tries” is emblematic of this interest but provides no verifiable data [4] [8].
4. Where a bar exam score would be found — and why it’s often absent from public reporting
Numeric bar-exam scores are not always part of routine biographical coverage; most profiles simply report law-school credentials and the date of bar admission. State bar records and candidate disclosures sometimes list pass/fail and admission dates but do not always publish raw scores in news releases, and none of the cited sources here point to a public record that includes Bondi’s first-attempt score [9] [1] [6].
5. Conservative and critical reporting both omit a first-attempt score — implications
Both profiles favorable to Bondi’s nominations and critical commentary about her conduct or qualifications rely on her documented career milestones rather than an exam score; the absence of a numeric first-attempt score in mainstream and niche sources suggests either that the score was never publicly released or that reporters did not prioritize it in covering her career and nomination [7] [10] [11].
6. Bottom line and limits of available evidence
There is no source among the material provided that states Pam Bondi’s Florida Bar exam score on her first attempt; the verifiable facts are that she earned her J.D. from Stetson in 1990 and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1991, which confirms passage but not the numeric score or the number of attempts [1] [2] [3]. If a precise first-attempt score exists in a public record, it was not cited in the assembled reporting; absent such a citation, asserting a numeric score would exceed what the sources support.
